Its history is marked by 2000 years of conquest and by the imprint of Catharism and the Crusades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>THE CANAL DU MIDI<br>The work of Pierre-Paul Riquet and excavated in the XVIIth century to link the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the Canal du Midi, formerly used for transporting goods and people, is today frequented by numerous boaters and tourists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>uring the Cathar period Raymond Roger Trencavel, <em>vicomte<\/em> of Carcassonne (1194-1209) both tolerated and protected the heretics on his own lands. He suffered the first impact of the crusade preached by Pope Innocent III and on August 15th, 1209, after a two-week siege, it was all over. The Cit\u00e9 and the lands of Trencavel were first handed to the military commander of the crusade, Simon de Montfort, then to the King of France in 1224.As the Cit\u00e9 made its entry into the Royal Estate, its destiny took a new turn. Under the successive reigns of Louis IX, Philippe Le Hardi and Philippe Le Bel, it grew its modern-day shape. A new borough was born on the left bank in 1262: La Bastide Saint-Louis. Set on fire by the Black Prince in 1355, it was immediately rebuilt. While this new town was bustling with activity, the Cit\u00e9 consolidated its role as a royal fortress.But due to the use of new war techniques (gunpowder, cannon) and above all to the recession of the Franco-Spanish border in 1659 after the Peace of the Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es, it was gradually abandoned. In the 18th century, the Cit\u00e9 was little more than slum, a poverty-stricken, outlying area in a town made wealthy by the wine trade and the cloth manufacturing industry. Only through the joint efforts of Jean-Pierre Cros-Mayrevieille, a historian and a citizen of Carcassonne, of M\u00e9rim\u00e9e and the famous architect Viollet-le-Duc was it saved from demolition. Thousands of people today are able to see and admire the most accomplished fortified town in Europe. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tourisme-carcassonne.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
